Kongresni Trg Square
Kongresni (Congress) trg Square is an historical Baroque piazza uniting some of the city’s most beautiful buildings and popular attractions—yet it’s best known as a place to relax. Built in 1821 just a street over from the main area of old town, the peaceful square and verdant Star Park (Park Zvezda) that sits in its middle offer locals and visitors a quiet place to eat, read, and soak in views of the city’s iconic hilltop castle.

Slovenian Philharmonic
The site of today’s beautiful Slovenian Philharmonic building on the Kongresni trg Square was for decades dominated by the old “Stanovsko” – the State Theatre. It burned down completely in 1887.
Later, the restored building was inaugurated in 2001, while on 8 January 2003, on the three hundredth anniversary of the first documented performances, the newly installed organ resounded in the Great Hall for the first time.
